IoTaWatt

  If anyone is interested in having this type of real-time usage data for their own own home, I highly recommend IoTaWatt: https://iotawatt.com

  It's a completely local energy monitor that you can install into your home's circuit breaker panel, and then view dashboards or read data via an API from a local web server running on-device. You choose how many sensors you want, but you can monitor your whole home as well as individual circuits.

  For example, I track and trigger automations when my various appliances (laundry, dishwasher, microwave, etc) start/stop. It's very cool. Just be warned that it does require some research, basic understanding of electricity, and comfort working with high voltage mains connections if you plan to DIY it but I found it approachable and easy to setup.

  For individual circuit energy monitoring, I use Iotawatt. This involves installing CT clamps in the main breaker panel to monitor the circuits you want to monitor. I’m comfortable doing it myself but if you’re not, DO NOT mess around with it, hire a professional electrician instead because you can get electrocuted.

  I have an Iotawatt which measures the electrical use on both the heat pump and air handler circuits... it uses the clamp style of measurement (I managed to install those into my panel without killing myself). The Iotawatt is integrated into Home Assistant.

  Haven't tried it yet but I want to get an https://iotawatt.com/ for power monitoring.

• Does anybody know a good power meter with wifi/bluetooth/ethernet capability?

  I setup an iotawatt 8 months ago to monitor power usage in my whole home. You can monitor up to 14 circuits directly, and the whole thing is accessed via a web browser.

  I've just ordered an IoTaWatt. There isn't a Homebridge plugin available yet, but there is a Home Assistant integration, and I may attempt to create one.

  I use https://iotawatt.com/ combined with https://www.home-assistant.io/ for integration with additional data
